Screen saver fails to start

[Ивалин]

Just in case . Did you check if power manager presentattion mode is
disabled ?  You can get it by
1. Adding power manager plugin to panel
2. Open xfce4-settings-editor open xfce4-power-manager channel
presentation-mode property.
3. xfconf-query -c xfce4-power-manager -p
/xfce4-power-manager/presentation-mode in terminal
